Gavin Castleton’s Home is an album about the process of healing from massive heartbreak. Written over the course of a two- year breakup, this 14-song narrative blurs the line between fact and fiction as it details the extreme highs and gut-wrenching lows of Castleton’s first bout with love, presented in the motif of a zombie film.
Both sonically and scenically, the album travels vast distances. From the 50’s doo-wop/dub pop of “Coffeelocks” - a love at first sight introduction in the coffee shop, to the prog/rocksteady hypnosis of “The Human Torch” - the action-packed escape-from-the-zombie-hordes-by-way-of-helicopter album closer, Home is as dynamic as love itself.
The album features big arrangements, lush production, and the versatile voice of Lauren Coleman (duetting with Castleton in the role of his lover). Produced by Gavin Castleton, mixed by Rob Pemberton and Overclock Inc., and mastered by Grammy-winner Mark Wilder, Home is an epic project designed to console all who have encountered love and lived to tell about it.

NBC has been playing a commercial featuring Lou Reed more than any commercial should ever be played. Anyway, it got me thinking - do you happen to still have that live recording of "Perfect Day" that Gruvis did back in the day? I have it on a mixed CD from about 2002 that's scratched and won't play and i'm jonesin' for it.
I know you say you have to work twice as hard to appeal to the MASSES(while playing progressive music)..but how do you not have a billion listeners? We're talking about baby makin' music, Gavin. Beautiful, innocent babies. If you ever find yourself in central Florida we have a huge house in the middle of no where. Couch, home cooked meal, rehearsal space, great people. Let us know.
I'm probably one of your biggest fans in Colorado and my band is playing a stupid show in Fort Collins the night you'll be here :( I could probably cry.
It's just. not. fair.
Kick ass set last night. I'm so glad you guys stopped through Charlotte. I had no idea so I was kinda geeking out when they announced the featured act. Thank you for not sucking ('cause my friends were wondering what the hell I was going on about when I tried to explain your music). lol
You're gonna have to find your way back here (it would be a crime not to) 'cause you made a huge impression on music lovers in the Queen City!
Skip Philly, but I hope us folks @ SoCal treated you nice enough for you to come back to a show sometime next year. Even a show in 2011 would be fine. I understand how tough it is to tour. I saw your shows @ The Mint in LA, The Wire in Upland, & @ Viento Y Agua in Long Beach. All were exciting. Thnx SO much again! In apreciation, I bought 5 of your albums, & a t-shirt =) Well, the merch is still a treat for me, so I'm making sure on spreading your music to my friends. You deserve to be heard. Thnx for giving us a part of your creativity & life.
hey man, I met you at House of Blues in Chicago and we talked by the merch for it a bit when are you coming back to town? we love you guys Home is a phenomenal album
